[PATCH v2 2/8] rcu: shrinker for lazy rcu

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Wed Jun 22 2022 - 18:52:01 EST


From: Vineeth Pillai <vineeth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The shrinker is used to speed up the free'ing of memory potentially
held by RCU lazy callbacks. RCU kernel module test cases show this to be
effective. Test is introduced in a later patch.
